New this Summer! We will be introducing a small Walking Soccer League (a version of soccer that has gained popularity across the world in recent years) to our league lineup beginning in May.
What is Walking Soccer? Walking soccer is a, low-impact, non-contact, and modified version of traditional soccer designed for all ages, particularly older adults, where running and jogging are forbidden. Participants must keep at least one foot on the ground at all times with rules focusing on safety, such as no overhead balls, no tackling from behind or non-incidental physical contact, and smaller fields. This version of soccer is designed to be inclusive and open to all ages and skill levels, but especially well suited for players dealing with physical limitations (injuries etc.) that restrict their ability to play the standard 7/11-a-side format.
Please note:
- There will be NO BYE WEEKS in this league. Teams will play every week.
- The league reserves the right to reschedule games disrupted by weather to long weekends or alternate weeknights.
- No Running Rule: Players must walk. Jogging or running is not permitted.
- Low Impact/No Contact: Designed to be safe, sliding tackles and non-incidental physical contact is prohibited.
- Ball Height Restriction: The ball cannot travel above the player's head.
- Game Format: 7-a-side, played on a 7-a-side field.
For those looking to pay cash or cheque for their registration, please contact us to make arrangements. All payments made by cheque must be received at least 20 days prior to the start of the league.
